Gene Description

gnptab encodes the alpha/beta precursor of UDP-N-acetylglucosamine:lysosomal-enzyme N-acetylglucosamine-1-phosphotransferase, a Golgi enzyme that initiates mannose-6-phosphate tagging of lysosomal hydrolases. The core function is GlcNAc-1-phosphotransferase activity in N-glycan processing to lysosome; craniofacial, cartilage, bone, and heart phenotypes are downstream consequences of impaired lysosomal enzyme targeting.

GO Term Evidence Action Reason
GO:0003976 UDP-N-acetylglucosamine-lysosomal-enzyme N-acetylglucosaminephosphotransferase activity
IBA
GO_REF:0000033
ACCEPT
Summary: UDP-N-acetylglucosamine-lysosomal-enzyme N-acetylglucosaminephosphotransferase activity (GO:0003976) is the core molecular function of gnptab. Falcon deep research confirms this directly for the zebrafish protein: a structural study crystallized a zebrafish GNPTAB catalytic construct (UniProt Q5RGJ8) with bound UDP-GlcNAc and resolved the phosphotransfer mechanism, and the enzyme transfers phospho-GlcNAc from UDP-GlcNAc to the 6-hydroxyl of mannose on N-glycans of lysosomal hydrolases, requiring Mg2+ or Mn2+.
Reason: This annotation matches the synthesized core function or a directly supported core location/process for this gene.

IBA
GO_REF:0000033
ACCEPT
Summary: N-glycan processing to lysosome (GO:0016256) is supported for gnptab. Falcon deep research describes GNPTAB as initiating the M6P sorting signal, the first step of the two-step M6P tagging pathway that routes lysosomal hydrolases; loss of GNPT activity abolishes M6P labeling and causes missorting/secretion of lysosomal enzymes.
Reason: This annotation matches the synthesized core function or a directly supported core location/process for this gene.

This annotation derives from an EF-hand domain (IPR018247/IPR002048) within GNPTAB; falcon deep research notes GNPTAB contains an EF-hand Ca2+-binding domain among its accessory modules, but the catalytic phosphotransfer reaction is the core molecular function.

IEA
GO_REF:0000117
KEEP AS NON CORE
Summary: protein transport (GO:0015031) is retained as supported context for gnptab but is not the primary/core function. It is a broad downstream consequence: by generating the M6P signal, GNPTAB enables M6P-receptor-mediated delivery of lysosomal hydrolases. The more specific term GO:0016256 (N-glycan processing to lysosome) better captures the core role.
Reason: This annotation is broad, inferred, or reflects downstream developmental/physiological context rather than the central molecular role.

gnptab (Danio rerio) review notes

Batch 05 curation notes

  • Core interpretation: gnptab encodes the alpha/beta precursor of UDP-N-acetylglucosamine:lysosomal-enzyme N-acetylglucosamine-1-phosphotransferase, a Golgi enzyme that initiates mannose-6-phosphate tagging of lysosomal hydrolases. The core function is GlcNAc-1-phosphotransferase activity in N-glycan processing to lysosome; craniofacial, cartilage, bone, and heart phenotypes are downstream consequences of impaired lysosomal enzyme targeting.
  • Key UniProt support: Catalyzes the formation of mannose 6-phosphate (M6P) markers.
  • Existing GOA annotations were reviewed against this core role; broad, inferred, or downstream phenotype annotations were kept as non-core unless they overstate the direct function.
